Players may still register for the fall baseball league being coordinated once again by Minnesota West Community & Technical College.

There will be a youth league for players entering fifth or sixth grades, a junior league for players entering seventh through ninth grades and a high school league for players entering 10th through 12th grades.

There will be four to six teams per league with 10 to 14 on each team. There will be two Minnesota West baseball players coaching each team. There will be one game per team per Sunday (seven innings or 1.5-hour cap). An optional 30-minute warmup/practice will be before each game.

Registration has been ongoing and continues through Aug. 24. A coaches' meeting and team assignments are on Aug. 31, and opening day with week one games is Sept. 6. Games are six consecutive Sundays through Oct. 11.

The fee is $100 per player. Checks may be mailed to Bluejay Booster Club -Baseball, Attn: Joe Kinley, 1450 Collegeway, Worthington, MN 56187. They also may be dropped off at the Minnesota West athletics office.
